TEAT STRANGER IN THE SKY. It Makes a Row Between Zephaniah Cinders and Lamentation Jackson. FYom the New York Herald. Lucinda Johnson’s german broke up in a row. And, would you believe? it was all because of a silver light that had loomed up recently in the western skies. Yes, it does seem ridiculous; but that some glinting, twinkling stranger is what brought Miss Lucinda and a score of her guests to tku Harlem Police Court yes terday. This is the way it came about. Miss John ten has long been considered the leader in all that is gay and cultured iu the up-town colored coterie. Buxom, brash, and bilious in complexion rather than black, she was eminently fitted to handle the social reins in her somewhat fast set. It was but natural that she should wish to celebrate the coming out of her sister, Miss Larceny Johnson, in a manner that would accord with her own brilliant posi tion in society. And this was partly the purpose of the cotillion at the family resi dence on Friday evening. In order that the affair might be wanting in no detail of unique attractiveness the dancing was to be followed by an experience meetiug and a song service instead of the usual vulgar sup per that obtains on such occasions. That the experience meeting and song service did not come off is no fault of Miss Lucinda’s. The blame lies with yon splen did spark, set like an opal iu a field of sap phire sky. Judge for yourself if ’tisn’t so. Everything went off delightfully in the early part of the evening—a trifle stiff and starchy, perhaps, but elegant and courtly. Later tripping feet plunged through the ice of formality, and tilings promised well for the experience meeting and song service that were to conclude the gayeties. It was after the sixth figure of the dance, according to tho storv told the Judge yes terday, that the trouble began. The room, it seems, hnd become somewhat heated, and Lamentation Jackson approaching the de butante of the evening said: “Mith Lnhsny, would’n’ you like to tek a few laps aroun’ de pizassa?’’ “Wo-11, Mithter Jackthon,” came the drawling reply of the child of midnight eyes. “I dunno ez I ken prezackley thay thet I have any ’mosity to tekken a po’made on de pizassa.” And all the trouble came from that promenade on the piazza. Just a slight variation, you see, of the Eve episode. UNDER AN UNLUCKY STAR. The couple walked up and down the roof of tho small shed where Obadiah Dempsey, whose house adjoins the Johnson abode, keeps bis goats, but which serves nicely as a poroli for the neighboring residence. Stopping in tho midst of a low-toned dis cussion of the merits of peppermint as a handkerchief perfume, Miss Larceny, turn ing to her assiduous escort, asked; "Bah de way, Mithter Jackson, ken you ’form me wat am dat bright thpeck, kanna white and kanna yallor, over yonner in de hebben? You thee it right ober Go-to-meetin’ Bixby’s place?” Mr. Jackson shaded his eyes knowingly for a moment, and then confessed that he failed to see the object of Miss Johnson’s wonder. “Whar am your eyes, Mithter Jackthon?” returned the young lady. “Doan you thee it a-wiggliu an’a-wagglin fum way back?’ “Well, Mith La’sny, dem debblish black eyes o’ yourn hez kanna blanded me fur de install’, but nah I ’col’ect dat I was readin’ dat de great ’scoverer, Mithter Ed’thon, hez done thent a balloon up ’bout sebben mile, wid a 'leetic light on de inside. Dat's what dat am—Mithter Ed’thon’s ’lectio light,” ami Jackson stuck one hand behind his coat tails, beat one knee and waited for the lady’s comment on his cleverness. “Thakes alive, Mithter Jackthon, whar you git all dat larnin? You’r as snappy as a raap pe’simmon.’’ THROWING THE APPLE OF DISCORD. While the couple were engaged in view ing the mystic glimmer in the west, Miss Appleblossoin Bioomer came along, leaning on the arm of Zephaniah Cinders. “You a-wishin’by de ebenin’ star, peo ple?" pleasantly inquired Cinders. "Dat ain’t no elvenin’ star, Mithter Cin ders,” returned Miss Johnson tartly —she once charged the same gentleman with hav ing attempted to scandalize her character— “dat am Ed’thon’s ’lectic; light.” “Who tell you dat foolishness? Dat ain’t no ’lectic light. Dat am Wenus.” “Wath dat?” spoke up Jackson threaten ingly. “All thay,” reiterated Cinders in a tone that meant fight, “ah thav dat am Wenus.” "Thee hyar, Mithter Cinders,” broke in Miss Johnson, with mounting color, “dat am not do langvvidge to use befoah ladies, an’ you is talcin’ wantage o’ de company to speak trash.” Cinders protested that his language cer tainly intended no disrespect to his compan ions. ‘ H<' said that he hail heard a party of gentlemen in his barber shop discussing the presence of the stranger in the skies and that he had learned his facts from their con versation. “An’ ah tell you,” he concluded a; grily, “dat it am Wenus.” “Ah tell you again!” cried Miss Johnson; “duan you stall’ acre and speak de name ob such a pusson as dat. All know her; ah seen her picture—de nattliy, good for nuffin hussy wat goes aroun’ wid no does on. You ought to bo ‘shame, you common, ondeau liiggah, to hab de 'dacity to breave de name of such wuffless trash. Ah guess, howsom ever, dat your maw walin’t much better." THE CRISIS REACHED. It was that last remark probably that precipitated the climax. Jackson and Cin noi-s did, indeed, exchange a few compli ments, in which allusion was made to the fact that any man could wear a dress suit at a german if he shaved white trash for two weeks to raise enough money to pay for its loan, to which Cinders replied that his friend Jackson ought to lie aware that white overalls and celluloid dickies are no longer in regele evening dress. Accounts differ as to subsequent proceed ings. When the policemen, who were sum moned, arrived on tho scene they found a stale of affairs that called for ambulance wagons and the fire patrol. Miss Lucinda Johnson iusisted on preferring a charge of mayhem against Cinders at once. She con - fveed she didn't know what it meant, but she w as certain that Cinders had done it. “Dot, polluting coon,” she explained amid her tears to the Sergeant, at the station, "ho goe. aroun’ abreakin’ all de ten command ’ants nil' aworryin’ dat der ain’t no more of ’em ilat he can sao’lege an' scarify.” But the judge in the Harlem Court heard with impartial care both sides of the story. He looked with unbinsed eye on the score or more of Lucinda Johnson’s guests who wore brought before lum on the charge of disor derly conduct; lie noted their dishevelled linerv, their torn clothes, their downcast, regretful explosions, and when ho learned that tho trouble had all begun in a dispute over the identity of a mysterious twinkler in the heavens, he decided to dismiss the prisoners, one and ail, with some good ad vice mid a warning. “To tell the truth," said his honor, “I have; mysojf witnessed so many angry argu ments and heated disputes occasioned by that sunio star that I can readily under stand how a spirited company, falling foul of tho subject, might be led to unseemly conduct. So, good poople, you can go this time, but I would suggest that you contrive to get together in the near future to hold the experience meeting and song service which was unavoidably omitted from Miss Johnson's entertainment." And as they paraded out of court Miss Larceny Johnson said under her breath that it would tuke "a heap o’ sporieuce an’ dng j'l' to save folk* what Uses enolea.l Jangwidge,” whereupon Apple Hlesvnu Mloomer retorted that “Do I.sir’ ain’t got no tm,e for nussons dat disfouod a *ltic Inm (*Tti on’ llis own stars dat shine bah night.” NOT ALONE IN THE QUANDARY. If the truth wriPe known though, it would 'S' found that Miss Johnson's friends wore t'" more disturbed over this question of tho rt'Ua incognita than a whole host of folks witu much greater pretentious to scientific Is it really Edison's superterranoan light? Hundreds of persons think so. Is it the Star of Bethlehem come back again? Thousands assert it is, and base their be lief upon the statement of self-styled sci entists. . It is actually anew star that has worked itself after ages and ages of toil, out of the infinity of noiseless space to find a lodgment among its countless kind in the spangled firmament? There is even scientific authority for this proposition. Possibly it is but a wayward fragment of the milky path that has started out to sot up an establishment of its own, or. maybe, nothing but a crumb tossed into earthly view by some capricious comet whizzing about among distant worlds. Wily does not someone offer a prize for a solution of the mystery? It does not cost anything to offer prizes and it has oftdn proved an effective method in dealing with mooted questions of this sort. It is perhaps the uppermost matter in the public mind to-day, that star is. In com parison with it the fact that Mrs. Langtry has become an American citizen fades into comparative pettiness. For the time being the flaneurs cease to record the status or re lations between Mr. and Mrs. James Brown Potter. In the dazzling suggestiveness of this stellar steamer the public is blinded to the stirring question as to what is the proper color of tennis stockings. Curiosity no longer stands on tiptoe to learn whether the decollete, tendency will really work itself into a pair of shoulder straps. Even the theatrical liar, who cometh at this season with an elaborate fabrication of the virtue, genius and family distinction of his artist, finds himself thrust into the shade. ON THE ANXIOUS SEAT. Letters by the score and hundreds pour into the office burdened with queries as to the identity of “that bright speck in the west.” From all sorts and conditions of people, from all regions of the country— State and Territory', town and hamlet— comes the same interrogation: “What is it?’ One impulsive young woman, who signs herself Merthy Nougat, writes; “I had a dispute with my steady com pany. He says it. is Edison’s electric light. I say it is the Star of Bethlehem. Please decide this at once. My engagement de pends upon it. Also, can you give me a good receipt for freckles?" • A man writing from Swansea, N. H. says: “I’ve just made a bet up to Keene that that star is the very same spoken of in the second chapter of" Matthew. I bet a yoke of steers. Do I lose? If so be I’ll put a labol on ’em, ‘Hence these s’toars.’ How’s that? Will it do for a city joke? Have read your paper since the sixties.” A young fellow came into the office at a late hour last night and said he had come up from Long Beach to got the astronomer to decide a bet as to the identity of the star. He said he represented a syndicate that hail wagered $250 that it was nothing but an illuminated balloon sent up at Menlo Park. A reporter trotted all over this town to get some opinions on the character of the stranger. All sorts of theories and sugges tions were offered. He spoke to poets, preachers, painters, musicians, hucksters, actors, politicians. Aldermen, ballet girls, barkeepers—Tom, Dick and Harry. The answers were learned, trifling, se rious, ridiculous, witty, stupid and innu merable. Mayor Hewitt said he had not yet made up his mind what it was. When he had de cided the matter he would write a letter explaining his poeition and giving his rea sons. CINDERS WAS RIGHT AFTER ALL. “Well, what in thunder is it?” Why, bless you, gentle reader, Zephaniah Cinders answered that question long ago— on the evening of Lucinda Johnson’s ger man. In the words of the escort of Miss Apple blossom Bloomer— “ Wat am Wenus?’ Yes that supposedly mysterious star is Ve nus herself. Avery learned astronomer told the writer so only yesterday. It was Mr. Henry M. Parkhurst, whose observatory is up in a tall building on Chambers street. Why, if that was an electric light, he said, it would have to be up about 700 miles to appear where it it does. It’s Venus She gets around here once every twelvemonth. It happens that she looks a little better now than when she last played an engagement here, and so every body is inclined to believe she isn’t the original production, as played with stu pendous success, and so forth and so on. Owing to previous contracts the present engagement is limited, and if you want an advantageous view seats had better he booked at once. “But how is it, Mr. Parkhurst, that this star seems to wiggle and move up and down, and all that?" “Ah, that’s all in your eye, my by,” he replied, “all in your eye.” So that settles it. HAUNTED BY SPOOKS. The Strange Complaint Made by Erne line Unruh. From the Philadelphia Newt. Emeline Unruh, of Germantown, who claims to be the victim of unholy witch craft, filed a remarkable bill in equity in the Common Pleas Court yesterday after noon. The story as set forth by the oratrix is an interesting one and savors of the days of Roger Williams, when death at the stake would have tieen the portion of the accused. The bill is as follows: “Your oratrix complains: First, that your oratrix, a resident of Germantown, in the Twenty-second ward of the city of Philadelphia, hacr been from 1883, to May, 1887, sick, enfeebled, nud her mind had lemme greatly impaired by physical prostration as to render her helpless and unfit to transact any business whatever, and whilst so prostrated, both physically and mentally, your oratrix was under the care, control, custody, direction nnd in fluence of Bridget E. Nichols, who acted in the capacity of domes tic servant for her. Second, while under such control, care, custody, direction and influence, the said Bridget E. Nichols, for the purpose of cheating and defrauding your oratrix out of large sums of money, falsely and fraudulently induced her to be lieve that a spell laid been put upon her by some invisible power; that until certain things would be accomplished by parties whom she knew had the power to remove spells, she would never get better; that it would require considerable money to re move them, as the parties resided in distant lands, and could be reached only by tele graph : that each telegram would cost at least from $lO to $lB. which sums were pnid by her to the said Bridget E. Nichols, on various occasions. Third, the said Bridget E. Nichols, well knowing the weak and en feebled condition of your oratrix’s mind, and her utter inability to either take care of herself or her property, or resist the evil influences of said defendant, did fraudu lently and unlawfully combine, conspire nnd agree with one Alice Maguire, late Alice Jordan, and a colored physician, known bv the name of Dr. Hall, now de ceased, to obtain, extort, defraud ami cheat, by false and fraudulent representa tions, witchery and trickery, your oratrix out of large sums of money, aggregating about $ 1,038. GHOSTLY MANIFESTATIONS. “Fourth, that in order to operate more ef fectually on weak aud enfeebled eondi tiop of your oratrix's mind, and impress her with tho importance and necessity of re movijig the supposed spells, th*s*jd da/erul ottts, by contrivances then unknown to your oratrix, caused kmd and strange voices,-to gether with loud rapping* and otluu- unnat ural manifestations to amaimte from va rious parts of your oratrix’s residence; and to further intimidate hor the suid defend ants procured, or caused to be pro cured numerous cats and other ani mals, placing them in her house, thereby causing, to her giant annoyance, hideous yells and unearthly screaming, for the pur- j pose, as jour oratrix Imssince discovered. I THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY,"AUGUST 17, 1887. of deceiving, extorting.chcating and terrify ing her into the payment of large sums of money, running from SIOO to SI,OOO aat time. Fifth, the said defendants, for the purpose of further cheating and defrauding your oratrix, procured and furnished largo brass bugs and had them placed on various parts of your oratrix's residence, under tho pretense that they were necessary to remove the said spells, for which she has been defrauded out of $lO for each of tho said hugs. Also large plates with numerous devices and hierogylphics inscrib'd upon them were procured and furnished by the said defendants, and falsely and fraudulent ly represented as coming from a far-off is land at a great expense for the purpose of teaching the said Bridget Nichols the art of banishing spells, and particularly to keep the spools from the friends and relatives of your oratrix, whereby she has been de frauded and cheated by the said defendants out of sums of money running from SIOO to SOOO to remove the spells from each of her friends and relatives then mentioned, and SI,OOO each for the said Bridget E. Nichols and Alice Maguire, to remove tho spells from them. Sixth, that the said Dr. Hall, through tho collusion and connivance of the said defendants, together with colored poo ple unknown to your oratrix, would call upon her during the late hours of night, wherein the said Dr. Hall, while standing at her bedside, would rub her arms and utter some unintelligible sounds anil incan tations, and declare that devils were leaving her one by one. REMOVING THE STELLS “That during each of those visits the said defendants would demand, exact and extort from your oratrix various sums of money by lafsely and fradulently representing that the paymant of such sums was necessary to drive away the spells. Seventh, that the money so falsely, unlawfully ami fraudu lently obtained and extorted from your ora trix by the said Bridget Nichols has been laid out and expended for the purchase of certain real estate herein describsl; that the title thereto is in her own name and described as follows: All that certain lot or piece of ground, with the messuage or tenement thereon erected, sit uate ou the north corner of Bringhurst and Wakefield streets, in Germantown, in the Twenty-seoond ward of the city of Phila delphia; thence extending along the north west side of said Bringhurst street north fifty-two degrees, east sixty-seven feet three inches to a corner; thence along the south western side of an alley two feet six inches wide; thence north forty-eight degrees. west sixteen feet two and a quarter inches to a corner; thence south forty-one de grees twenty-four minutes, west sixty-seven feet and four inches to the northeasterly side along Wakefield street; thence along the same south forty degrees thirty-six minutes, east fifteen feet six inch es to the place of beginning, together with the free use, right, liberty and privilege of the said two feet six inches wide alley; that your oratrix is informed and believes that the said Bridget E. Nichols is about making sale and disposing of the said premises for the purpose of defrauding your oratrix.” The court is therefore asked that all the money extorted from the plaintiff be ac counted for and paid back; that if Bridget E. Nichols has encumbered or in any way disposed of the real estate the proceeds of the sale shall be paid to plaintiff, and Brid get E. Nichols lie restrained from selling, transferring, disposing or encumbering in any way the nail estate and that said prem ises be held in trust for the plaintiff.
